i have the same problem when i used to install linux 2.6.26 kernel, but i think this problem will
be solved if i install ubuntu 8.10 alpha4. But that problem appears again.:-(

BTW, the old kernel works well.

i have an ASUS P5QL-PRO motherboard with a onboard ethernet card Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114,
a ATI HD3850 video card, a SATA 250G harddisk, an Intel E7200 cpu.

Today, i try to boot the new kernel again and i choose the memtest86+ option, then the memory test
begin. I saw a lot of errors and the errors just keep increasing. Finally my computer halted with
an endless long beep.

i think it should be the motherboard BIOS's problem, but i have upgraded the latest BIOS version.

I am the same mistakes!
However, my configuration is:
i have an ASUS P5QL-PRO motherboard with a onboard ethernet card Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114,
a NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT video card, a SATA 250G harddisk, an Intel E7200 cpu.
The reason is estimated that motherboard!

I did some more testing with other distributions and they both trigger the same bug (with slightly different error messages):
- Fedora 10 beta x86_64 (Kernel 2.6.27)
- openSUSE 11.0 i386 (Kernel 2.6.25)

So I guess this bug has been introduced in 2.6.25.
Is there a way to obtain more debugging information?

I have tried some older versions (6.10 and 7.04). I do not know what kernel these are based on, but they do not work either. Secondly, I'm just trying to pull some attention to this bug because I hate this one :)

Can you ask Alan if he could send it to the stable kernel serie ?
Since it seems trivial and it fixes a regression, it looks to be the best thing to do (and that way it will automatically propagate to all the distros that use 2.6.27)

I tried to Install Ubuntu Intrepid on my new PC that didn't have an OS preinstalled and encountered this very bug. What would be the best way of installing Intrepid on this machine? I guess there's no updated Intrepid media that contains the patched kernel. Seems like there's no other way than installing Hardy and upgrading to Intrepid, right?

"Int 14" is fairly generic as an error, and the bug reported here definitely appears to be resolved. Again marking as fixed. Marco, you may want to open a new bug report with more detail about your issue.

I downloaded ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso a couple of weeks ago and I get an identical problem. The installation process stops shortly after displaying "Booting the kernel" and shows the error message:
BUG: Int 14 : CR2 ffb41000
and then locks up.

The system has an Asus P5QL motherboard with a Core 2 Duo E8500 and 4 GB RAM.

It's disappointing to see that, although this bug appears to have been known about for some months, there is no mention of it in the 8.10 release notes.
